The gap between the trunk lid and the car is about 3/16" when the trunk is closed. I tried pushing the trunk lid down to make contact with the car. I applied about 25 lbs (conservative estimate) of force to one rear corner of the trunk lid, and the rubber bumper(s) compressed only enough to cut the gap in half.
Yep. And considering I'm running 350lb springs in the rear, the fact that the rear is riding lower at all at speed is impressive.
